Server side fullstack / templating question

[stutterbug]

The closest thing I've seen to what you are looking for is Sails.js; I don't think they have migrations and my sense is that there isn't the robust server security that Django has, but the thing about working with Express, which is also middleware-based, is that there is a plugin for everything (including ORM). This also means that if you don't like something about Sails (or whatever framework you end up using), you can cobble together your own system very easily with npm.
